Sergeants and lieutenants at the Janesville Police Department have hastily formed a union so they won't have to contribute to their pensions, the Janesville Gazette reports.
The bill would require all public employees -- except unionized police and firefighters -- to start paying a share of their own retirement. The Janesville police supervisors were not part any union, so they formed one on a 14-0 vote.
"Basically, if we're not exempt, they (union personnel) are going to have a chance to make more than the supervisors will make because we'll be paying into our portion of the WRS (Wisconsin Retirement System)," Sgt. Charles Aagaard, president of the new Janesville Police Supervisors Association told the Gazette.
